This template is intended as a starting point for developing your own firmware based on the rp2040-hal.
It includes all of the knurling-rs tooling as showcased in https://github.com/knurling-rs/app-template (defmt, defmt-rtt, panic-probe, flip-link) to make development as easy as possible.
probe-rs is configured as the default runner, so you can start your program as easy as
If you aren't using a debugger (or want to use other debugging configurations), check out alternative runners for other options
The standard Rust tooling (cargo, rustup) which you can install from https://rustup.rs/
Toolchain support for the cortex-m0+ processors in the rp2040 (thumbv6m-none-eabi)
flip-link - this allows you to detect stack-overflows on the first core, which is the only supported target for now.
(by default) A probe-rs installation
A probe-rs compatible probe
You can use a second Pico as a CMSIS-DAP debug probe. Details on other supported debug probes can be found in debug_probes.md
rustup target install thumbv6m-none-eabi cargo install flip-link # Installs the probe-rs tools, including probe-rs run, our recommended default runner cargo install --locked probe-rs-tools # If you want to use elf2uf2-rs instead, do... cargo install --locked elf2uf2-rs
If you get the error binary `cargo-embed` already exists during installation of probe-rs, run cargo uninstall cargo-embed to uninstall your older version of cargo-embed before trying again.
cargo generate --git https://github.com/rp-rs/rp2040-project-template
Follow the wizard 🪄 and enjoy your new project.
Downloading as a zip file or using GitHub's template supportObtain a copy of the code, either by downloading this repository as a zip file or using GitHub's template feature, then apply the following:
debug_probes.md.cargo-generate directory.README.md..vscode/launch.json; Else: remove this file.Cargo.toml & adjust according to your project (especially its name)..cargo/config.toml to select your favorite runner.For a debug build
For a release build
If you do not specify a DEFMT_LOG level, it will be set to debug. That means println!(""), info!("") and debug!("") statements will be printed. If you wish to override this, you can change it in .cargo/config.toml
You can also set this inline (on Linux/MacOS)
DEFMT_LOG=trace cargo run
or set the environment variable so that it applies to every cargo run call that follows:
Setting the DEFMT_LOG level for the current session
for bash
Windows users can only override DEFMT_LOG through config.toml or by setting the environment variable as a separate step before calling cargo run
If you don't have a debug probe or if you want to do interactive debugging you can set up an alternative runner for cargo.
Some of the options for your runner are listed below:
cargo embed This is basically a more configurable version of probe-rs run, our default runner. See the cargo-embed tool docs page for more information.
Step 1 - Install cargo-embed. This is part of the probe-rs tools:
$ cargo install --locked probe-rs-tools
Step 2 - Update settings in Embed.toml
Step 3 - Use the command cargo embed, which will compile the code, flash the device and start running the configuration specified in Embed.toml
probe-rs-debugger Step 1 - Install Visual Studio Code from https://code.visualstudio.com/
Step 2 - Install probe-rs
$ cargo install --locked probe-rs-tools
Step 3 - Open this project in VSCode
Step 4 - Install debugger for probe-rs via the VSCode extensions menu (View > Extensions)
Step 5 - Launch a debug session by choosing Run>Start Debugging (or press F5)
Loading a UF2 over USB
Step 1 - Install elf2uf2-rs:
$ cargo install elf2uf2-rs --locked
Step 2 - Modify .cargo/config to change the default runner
[target.`cfg(all(target-arch = "arm", target_os = "none"))`] runner = "elf2uf2-rs -d"
The all-Arm wildcard 'cfg(all(target_arch = "arm", target_os = "none"))' is used by default in the template files, but may also be replaced by thumbv6m-none-eabi.
Step 3 - Boot your RP2040 into "USB Bootloader mode", typically by rebooting whilst holding some kind of "Boot Select" button. On Linux, you will also need to 'mount' the device, like you would a USB Thumb Drive.
Step 4 - Use cargo run, which will compile the code and start the specified 'runner'. As the 'runner' is the elf2uf2-rs tool, it will build a UF2 file and copy it to your RP2040.
Loading with picotool
As ELF files produced by compiling Rust code are completely compatible with ELF files produced by compiling C or C++ code, you can also use the Raspberry Pi tool picotool. The only thing to be aware of is that picotool expects your ELF files to have a .elf extension, and by default Rust does not give the ELF files any extension. You can fix this by simply renaming the file.
This means you can't easily use it as a cargo runner - yet.
Also of note is that the special pico-sdk macros which hide information in the ELF file in a way that picotool info can read it out, are not supported in Rust. An alternative is TBC.
The second-stage boot loader must be written to the .boot2 section. That is usually handled by the board support package (e.g.rp-pico). If you don't use one, you should initialize the boot loader manually. This can be done by adding the following to the beginning of main.rs:
use rp2040_boot2; #[link_section = ".boot2"] #[used] pub static BOOT_LOADER: [u8; 256] = rp2040_boot2::BOOT_LOADER_W25Q080;
There are several feature flags in rp2040-hal. If you want to enable some of them, uncomment the rp2040-hal dependency in Cargo.toml and add the desired feature flags there. For example, to enable ROM functions for f64 math using the feature rom-v2-intrinsics:
rp2040-hal = { version="0.10", features=["rt", "critical-section-impl", "rom-v2-intrinsics"] }
NOTE These packages are under active development. As such, it is likely to remain volatile until a 1.0.0 release.
